What dream
Do you have for me --
What in tomorrow
Would you desire
For me to see...
What memory
Would you like
For me to keep --
What fleeting moment
Would you want
Me to repeat...
What past times
Would you want me
To keep in mind --
How would you like
For me to remember
How you taught me
To simply be kind...
What Christmas
Memories would you
Have me to relive --
What part of myself
Would you desire
For me to give...
What time spent
With you alone
Would you want
Me to harbor within
My heart --
What thoughts
Of you
Would you like
For me to keep
When we are apart...
How would you
Like for me
To wake
Each day --
And how would you
Like for me
To act and kind
Words say...
Would you answer
These things
For me father
Before you leave
This earth --
You see father
It is that you
Are the one
I trust and the one
Who truly knows
My worth...
Would you father
Please share with me
The wisdom
Of your days --
For the time will come
When I will need
To know how
To speak with kindness
And to live with loving
Ways...
How else father
Will I come
To know
How to share myself
In this world
As along life's path
I go...
You see father
Others may
Make offer
Of their thoughts
And ways
But no one is you
Father
And no one else
Has shared my days...
So I ask you father
That you give to me
The wisdom
Of your years
And the knowledge
That you did gain --
For one day
I will need to know
When you
Are no longer
By my side
And life reveals
Joy as well as pain...
It is then
That I will have
The legacy
That you you have shared
With me
And I will be
Prepared
To live within
This realm
With grace
Until I meet you
Once again
On that side of
Eternity...
So father
While we have time
Would you please
Share yourself
With me --
For there will
Come a time
When you
I cannot see...
There will come
A time
When father
I will recall
All you shared with me --
And I will use
The wisdom gained
In my earthly walk
Until we are reunited
On that side of
ETERNITY...
